Persistent vs Session-Based
Session-based agents (local terminal, IDE plugins) limit enterprise adoption. Persistent cloud execution — agents continuing when laptops close — is emerging as a production requirement (2026-06-11-openai-codex-ona-acquisition).

Analysis
OpenAI’s Ona acquisition signals M&A as a strategy to own the infrastructure layer for agentic coding, not just the model. Codex’s 400% growth to 5M weekly users creates urgency for production-grade orchestration.
